Gentleman Captains Charity Page

Birmingham Children's Hospital

During his Captaincy our Gentleman Captain, Bob Grindley will be raising funds through a variety of events for the Birmingham Children's Hospital (BCH) Charity

About BCH Charity: Imagine you are 5 years old and going into hospital tomorrow. Hospital's bewildering, scary and unsettling for anyone but especially for children and that is why Birmingham Children's Hospital is a fundraising hospital.

Whether its £5 to fund some crayons and colouring books whilst waiting for test results, or £42,000 for a life saving machine that operates as a mechanical heart. Charitable donations are key to making us what we are: a centre of paediatric excellence that the whole country depends on. Our aim for the 250,000 children that we treat each year is that their family knows our care of their child is our most precious priority.

BCH Mission:Birmingham Children’s Hospital Charity is an independent registered charity established under s51 of the NHS Act 2006 and registered with the Charity Commission (registered number 1160875) to raise and receive legacies and donations for Birmingham Children’s Hospital.

Our mission is to make a real difference to the children at Birmingham Children’s Hospital, their families and the staff who treat them by providing additional facilities, equipment and research and by creating a caring environment for all who use the hospital.
